October warm to hot is the norm for a while!
We do have a chance for a few showers and storms early Tuesday morning, but it won’t be widespread.
Temperatures warm back up into the mid-upper 80s for most across Central and Western Oklahoma Tuesday afternoon!
Our next strong pattern-changing cold front arrives late Sunday.
While we are quiet, Florida is bracing for major storm in Hurricane Milton. Here's the latest forecast track the hurricane.
Milton is expected to bring flooding rain, extreme winds, and up to a 12-foot storm surge to the west coast of Florida.
EMSA HEAT SAFETY TIPS
-HYDRATION is key in preventing heat-related illness. Drink plenty of water or electrolyte replacement drinks several hours before and during long exposure to the summer heat.
Wear light-colored, loose fitting clothing and a wide-brimmed hat if working outdoors, and take plenty of shade breaks.
No alcohol or caffeine.
If you do not have air conditioning, find a cooling station or public space (such as libraries or malls) during the day.
Don’t limit your use of air conditioning.
Use the buddy system if working outdoors and check on elderly neighbors.
